Part 1: Reference Sheet
Using your school’s budget and CIP/SIP, develop a reference sheet that identifies a total of 7-10 school budget line items across three or more budget account categories and align them to the school’s vision, mission, and CIP/SIP. Remember the CIP/SIP should drive the budget.  
Use the “Reference Sheet Template” to complete this assignment. If you are unable to obtain a copy of the school budget, use the “Arizona Chart of Accounts,” as a resource for account codes and line items.
Part 2: Reflection
On the “Reference Sheet Template,” write a 250-500 word reflection that explains how the budget line items and categories align to the school’s vision, mission, and CIP/SIP. Reflect on why it is the principal’s responsibility to ensure that the budget aligns to the school’s mission, vision, and continuous improvement initiatives.
This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Knowing the difference between applied and basic research is necessary to develop an effective research study. The difference between basic research and applied research lies in their respective aims. 
Basic research refers to research aimed at acquiring new, fundamental knowledge and theoretical understanding of basic human and other natural processes without any particular application in view. 
Applied research also is conducted as an original investigation to acquire new knowledge, but it is primarily directed toward practical objectives with the aim of providing relatively immediate solutions.
This assignment has two parts. Complete Parts 1 and 2 below. 
Part 1: Article Analysis
Locate an applied research article on a topic in your program of study (e.g., DBA, DHA, DM, EDD) from the University Library. To familiarize yourself with the different applied designs, review the qualitative and quantitative research designs in the CDS Dissertation Guide on CDS Central.
Key words to use while searching for an article in the library might include action research, program evaluation, etc. 
Write a 350- to 525-word analysis about what makes the study discussed in the article applied versus basic research and do the following: 
Identify the article topic (e.g., education, business, health care) and provide a link to the article.
Explain how the study in the article addresses a real-world, practical problem.
Explain how the results of the study could impact people’s lives, work, health, and/or general well-being.
Part 2: Access and Permission Considerations
An important aspect of choosing a topic is access or the ability to conduct your study. For example, you may want to know how leaders in a particular company use social media to increase sales, but they are unwilling to talk to you. If you are not able to gain access to the leaders, then you will not be able to gather the data you need for your study.
Additionally, when selecting a topic for your study, consider whether conducting the study would involve talking to protected classes of people or vulnerable populations. Federal regulations require protecting the welfare of vulnerable subjects who may not be of age, have the authority or ability to speak for themselves, or are vulnerable in any other way.
Protected classes include the following:
children or minors under age 18
prisoners
pregnant women
people with cognitive impairments or mental disabilities
people who are educationally or economically disadvantaged
If you are considering conducting research with any of the protected classes of human subjects, consider options for completing your study in a different way. For example, instead of talking to minor children, talk to their parents. There are many creative options!
Write a 250- to 500-word summary in which you:
Identify what permissions will you need to access the people, organizations, and/or data to conduct your research.
Identify who you might need to consult to gain permission to conduct your study.
Explain what potential issues you might encounter.
Explain how you might address these potential issues.
Compile Part 1 and Part 2 into one document for submission.
